We are thinking of replacing the rather ugly ceiling light in our living room with LED strips around the perimeter of the room (mounted as uplights on coving). The room is about 6 x 4.6 metres with a few alcoves giving us a circumference of roughly 21.5 metres.
From what I've seen, the maximum single strip length for 24V/12V strip lights is 10/5 metres, and I had started looking into hooking up a bunch of 5-10m strips starting at different points around the perimeter and overlapping to create a seamless perimeter of light.
Then I came across the I LumoS strips, which are connected straight to mains - making them 240V strips, I guess. Since I am just going to have the lights wired up to a regular light switch or a dimmer switch on the wall, these seem suitable for my purposes, but I was wondering if anybody in here has any experience with them - or perhaps longer high voltage LED strips in general, and could offer some insight?
